I have a new Panasonic smart tv (TCP65VT50) its connected WiFi 802.11g/n Verizon router.Everything works internet,youtube but when I use DLNA to get my videos 1080 from my computer windows 7 to play through the tv the videos are choppy,my pictures and music work fine.My Samsung computer had pre installed with video with horses running (HD) and it was also choppy but not as much.I checked the singal from the tv and I was getting 2 bars sometimes one bar.I thought it was a low singal.I purchased a booster (NETGEAR) and now have 5 bars the video of the horses running is now perfect but my videos are still choppy.Will Serviio sofeware work? or is there something else in the mix? Thank you
Re: Videos choppy when playing through DLNA
I was having the same issue from my server (Windows Server 2003 R2, x64). WIth a dual core CPU and 8 gig of DDR2 ram, I figured I had plenty of horsepower. However, I tanked my motherboard so I had to rebuild. I now have a quad core processor and DDR3 memory. Now I can play 1080p files, but still have one issue.
It really depends on your player. My Panasonic Viera ST30 Plasma would not play 1080p at all when I used Wi-Fi. When I switched to a cable (gigabit network) I can play some 1080p files that have had some compression applied. My Sony SNP-N200 player will play 1080p with no issues, even some Blu-Ray rips that leave the files completely uncompressed. Again, no Wi-Fi.

Re: Videos choppy when playing through DLNA
Thank you, but the video is choppy when I stream it from my computer to my Panasonic TV playing it directly from the pc video is fine, streaming it to the TCP65VT50 using DLNA my videos are choppy, getting full bars on the signal
Re: Videos choppy when playing through DLNA
Same with me. I could play it locally on the computer fine but was choppy over DLNA. My new, faster motherboard, CPU and RAM made it streamable. However, as I noted I can only do this with my Sony N200 media box. My Panasonic still gets choppy with uncompressed 1080p material. SInce the Sony can show me the streaming data rate, I see these uncompressed videos can exceed 30Mbps. I think my Panasonic can't keep up with that rate, while the Sony can. If I even mildly compress the video (but still 1080p resolution) I can keep the data rate under 20Mbps, and the Panasonic can cope with that just fine.

Re: Videos choppy when playing through DLNA
Problem solved, I connected a Ethernet cable instead of my boosted WiFi (5 bars) to my Panasonic TCP65VT50 and videos are working perfect.I was told that even with 5 bars of single with WiFI that it may not be enough for streaming my 1080 videos even though every other thing worked,Youtube internet everything.What do you think about that!!

Par for the course.

Re: Videos choppy when playing through DLNA
Yep, matches my experience as well. I was less than 10 feet from the wi-fi box and it still stuttered. wired cable made all the difference

probably network bandwidth requirements for one video format are different than for another.

Re: Videos choppy when playing through DLNA
Mike,I was told by Panasonic to ask my provider (Verizon Fios) to increase bandwidth so I did and they told me that bandwidth is set and can not be increased.The video format on my digital 1080 camera (Canon) is H264 Mov.I think what you are saying might be correct.Is H264 Mov. the odd ball? Thank you
